\"catAdapted by Patrick Carpen from the classic fairy tale “Puss in the Boots” by Charles Perrault.<\/em><\/p>\n

A miller, who had three sons, at the hour of his death divided his only possessions. He gave the firstborn the mill and to second he gave the donkey. But to the youngest, the only thing left to give was a cat.<\/p>\n

The young man was very distraught at inheriting only a cat. “What shall I do with a cat?” he sulked. “If I depend on a cat to make a living, I will surely starve to death!”<\/p>\n

But the cat said to the young man, “My dear master, do not despair. Just buy me a pair of boots and a sack and soon I will to you that I am more useful than a mill or a donkey.<\/p>\n

So the boy converted all the money he had into a beautiful pair of boots and a bag for his kitten.<\/p>\n

The kitting put on the boots and slung the bag across his shoulder and went into the fields where some rabbits were.<\/p>\n

Arriving at the field, the cat slyly put some cabbage leaves into the bag and left it half open. He then lay on the ground pretending to be dead.<\/p>\n

Excited by the scent of the cabbage, the rabbits came out of their hiding place and headed for the sack. As soon as the rabbits entered the bag, the cat snapped it shut.<\/p>\n

He then took the rabbits as gift to the king saying,\u00a0“Sir, the noble Marquis of Carabas ordered me to deliver these rabbits to you.\u00a0Stew with spring onions will be a delicious dish.”<\/p>\n

– Rabbits?! Exclaimed the king. – How wonderful! I love rabbits, but my cook does not know how to catch them. Tell your master I send my sincerest thanks.<\/p>\n

The next day, the kitten caught two partridges and took them to the
\nking as gift of the Marquis of Carab\u00e1s. The king was so pleased
\nwho ordered his carriage ready, and accompanied by the
\nPrincess, her daughter, went to the house of the noble
\nhad sent him such precious memories.
\nThe cat soon went to the master:
\n“Come with me, I will tell you a place on the river, where
\nYou can have a good shower.
\nThe cat led him to a point where the carriage was to pass.
\ntold him to undress, to hide his clothes under the
\na stone and into the water. The boy was gone from disappearing into the
\nwhen the king and the princess arrived.
\n– Help! Help! Cried the pussy.
\n– What happened? Asked the king.
\n“Thieves robbed the noble Marquis of Carabas!”
\nSaid the cat. “My master is in the water and
\nyou will feel cramps.
\nThe king immediately sent some servants to the palace; came back from there
\nlittle clothing made for the king himself, when
\nyoung.
\nThe owner of the cat dressed him and looked so handsome that the princess, so
\nwho saw him, fell in love with him. The king was also delighted and
\nhe murmured:
\n“I was just like that in my youth.”
\nThe cat was radiant with the success of his plan; and running to
\nin front of the chariot, came to some fields and told the farmers:
\n“The king is coming; if they are not told that all these
\nfields belong to the Marquis of Carab\u00e1s, I have them crushed as
\nmeat for meatballs.
\nSo when the king asked whose crops these crops were,
\nthe farmers answered him:
\n– Of the very noble Marquis of Carab\u00e1s.
\n– With the breca! – said the king to the youngest son of
\nmiller. “What a beautiful property you have!”
\nThe young man smiled in disbelief, and the king murmured in his daughter’s ear:
\n“I was like that in my youth as well.
\nFurther on, the cat found some peasants mowing wheat and
\nhe made them the same threat:
\n“If they do not say that all this wheat belongs to the Marquis
\nof Carab\u00e1s, I make you mincemeat.
\nSo when the royal chariot arrived and the king asked whose
\nwas all that wheat, they answered,
\n“Of the noble Marquis of Carab\u00e1s.”
\nThe king was very excited and said to the boy,
\n– O marquis! You have many properties!
\nThe cat continued to run ahead of the carriage; crossing a
\nthick grove, arrived at the door of a magnificent palace, in which
\nlived an ogre who was the true owner of the fields sown. O
\nKitten knocked on the door and told the ogre that it opened:
\n“My dear ogre, I’ve been hearing some stories about
\nrespect. Tell me there: it is certain that you can become what
\ndo you want
\n“Certainly,” answered the ogre, and it became a
\nlion.
\n“That’s no good,” said the kitten. – Any
\ncan swell and appear larger than it really is. All art is
\nin becoming smaller. Could you, for example, become a mouse?
\n“It is easy,” answered the ogre, and it became a
\nmouse.
\nThe kitten tossed her nails at once, ate it, then went downstairs to open it.
\nthe door, for at that moment the royal chariot arrived. And said:
\n“Welcome, sir, to the palace of the Marquis of Carab\u00e1s.”
\n– Hello! Said the king, what a beautiful palace you have
\nyou! I beg you to be so kind as to help the princess get out of the carriage.
\nThe boy timidly offered the arm to the princess and the king
\nhe murmured in his ear,
\n“I was so shy in my youth as well.
\nMeanwhile, the kitten got into the kitchen and had a
\na splendid lunch, putting on the table the best wines that
\nwine House; and when the king, the princess and the master entered the
\ndinner and sat at the table, everything was ready.
\nAfter the magnificent lunch, the king turned to the boy and
\nI told him:<\/p>\n

“Young man, you are as timid as I was in my youth.<\/p>\n

\n
\n
\n
\n
\n
But I realize that you like the princess a lot, just as she likes
\nyou.\u00a0Why do not you ask her to marry him?
\nThen the boy asked for the princess’s hand, and the marriage was
\ncelebrated with the greatest pomp.\u00a0The cat watched, putting on a new pair
\nof boots with red laces and gold embroidery and precious
\ndiamonds
\nAnd from then on, they began to live very happy.\u00a0What if the cat
\nsometimes he was still chasing after the rats, it was only for
\nfun;\u00a0because he absolutely did not need rats any more<\/span>
\nto kill the hunger.<\/span><\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
